Memory Usage on a Linux Server

1 Jul 25, 2006 07:37    

I am running 2 blogs on a dedicated server running on Linux.

My memory usage is always over 90%.

Depending on who I speak with in tech support, they say that either this is normal for a Linux server, or that it's the blogs making a lot of database requests.

I have about a 1000 visitors, and a bunch of indexing bots come everyday, but I still think this is a bit much for the level of traffic.

Is either of those explanations the truth?

LINUX is very good at managing memory, are you seeing troubles that might be related to this? If not, I wouldnt worry about it.

You also didnt happen to mention how much memory is in the box.. though that wouldnt necessarily change what I said above.

The server has 512MB of memory.

I get worried when any resource is used at full capacity for a long time. I haven't seen any trouble, though.

believe it or not, 90% isnt full capacity for LINUX .. :)

Its far more efficient than any windows OS at freeing up unused memory too! :)
